If you love deviled eggs and you love avocado, these avocado deviled eggs are going to blow you away!
Avocado deviled eggs are rich, creamy and satisfying, with no mayo required. Plus, avocados are rich in nutrients (20 different vitamins and minerals) and healthy fats.
While it seems that almost everyone loves a traditional deviled egg, it’s always nice to switch things up and try something new – and these avocado deviled eggs are the perfect choice!
These avocado deviled eggs are going to be the hit of your Easter brunch or summertime barbeques! With the healthier addition of avocado instead of traditional mayo or Miracle Whip, why not spice up your life a little?
There’s just something about this combination that works so well! Perhaps guacamole is the first thing that pops in your mind when you think of avocados, but they are so much more than that.
These avocado deviled eggs are a fresh, healthier spin on traditional deviled eggs. Even if you’re not currently watching what you eat, I think it’s so thoughtful to give your guests with dietary restrictions a few delicious choices.
You never know if any of your guests are currently trying to eat healthier or struggling with allergies, and giving them a few options that feel special can really go a long way!
The avocado makes a world of difference and I know you’ll enjoy them as much as we do.

Frequently Asked Questions
Try these avocado deviled eggs, where we replace the mayo with creamy, nutritious avocado! It’s an easy substitute and you’ll never miss the mayo or Miracle Whip.
Two of the best tips for easier peeling – first, choose eggs that are a little older. The freshest eggs are more difficult to peel! Secondly, add the eggs to water that is already boiling, instead of bringing the water to a boil with the eggs already inside the pot.

46kcal = 46,000 calories.
A regular deviled egg with mayo is about 63 calories or .063 kcals.
I plan to make these a day or two for a Social, but I’m certain each egg or ALL 24 eggs are NOT 46,000 calories or 46 kcals.
Also, the “Contact” link on any of you websites does not work . . . for me, anyway.
